My Dragon Fly and Me

If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guides
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and I...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Punctuation

I like to see a comma, it lets me get caught up,
And catch a little breath from what I’m drinking in the cup.
I don’t quite get semi-colon, that’s like parentheses.
It goes off in strange directions that one seldom even sees.

I understand quotations. They stand out from the text.
And when I see the first one then I know another’s next.
The period is the final mark with letters to annoint,
And every time I see it then I’ll know you’ve made your point.

I am your best friend,
Now, always, and especially
When you are eating.

Good morning, everyone! Happy Friday!

Riches
Sarah Teasdale

I have no riches but my thoughts,
Yet these are wealth enough for me;
My thoughts of you are golden coins
Stamped in the mint of memory;

And I must spend them all in song,
For thoughts, as well as gold, must be
Left on the hither side of death
To gain their immortality.

[SAMWolf]

Morning Colonel. I have no riches but my thoughts,
Yet these are wealth enough for me;

True! Now if I can only convince the IRS, they want cash.

Nice poem today.

A nice thing about Sarah's lovely poetry is- the poems are short. LOL

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning Sam.


Now there's a different concept, Dog Haiku. Cute.

Listening to the tunes now. Guy Mitchell, it's been a while since I have heard him.


Thanks much Sam.

Morning Feather. The only time Kodi pays attention is if there is food involved. ;-)

Until my money runs out. LOL. Good morning Colonel.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Good morning, sir!

Actually, I've had the same difficulty over the years as you have. Hopefully buying a house will help.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Hi, feathers :) How are you today?

Have I mentioned that I love Teasdale?

[Soaring Feather]

Hiya Colonel, well, my feathers are laid back today!! LOL

Have you seen my feathers when they are in a snit??

[Colonel_Flagg]

Have you seen my feathers when they are in a snit??

Thankfully, no. I don't think I ever made you mad at me :)

[Soaring Feather]

LOL. Don't you just love that bird?? LOL

[Colonel_Flagg]

Ordinarily I wouldn't smile about getting the bird but in your case I'll make an exception ;)

[Soaring Feather]

Oh you are so clever!!!! ROTFLOL!!
